With all due respect, there are already lots of organic cotton products out there these days and organic cotton farms are pretty easy to find in California, as well as other parts of the world. So, organic cotton is not all that uncommon and I certainly don't consider it a fad, by any means.
Personally, I have to look at the total process and the environmental consequences of using pesticides vs. going organic. They may get washed out in the washing machine, but where do they go then? Where does the pesticide go when the farmer puts it on his crops? What is the company supplying the pesticide being used? Does that company create a monopoly on that crop and it's future seed with GMOs?
It's my personal choice to shop for organic products. I'm not trying to be preachy...to each her own. I just want more feedback and information about organic quilting fabrics.
